Very difficult to answer. When you do not follow court orders, you can be in contempt of court. However, if he is not following court orders, he can be held in contempt of court. If he was supposed to have her in June and didn't take her, that does not mean he now gets to take July. he does not make the rules. He sounds like a bully.
